Didi Express Delivery experienced a 303% year-over-year order surge during China’s “520” love-themed holiday, with automotive deliveries jumping 120% due to demand for oversized flower arrangements, multi-tiered cakes, and cross-city gifts. Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Suzhou led in orders, while Urumqi showed the fastest growth. Millennials drove 62% of transactions, featuring flowers and desserts, as Gen Z embraced elaborate romantic gifting. The company highlighted climate-controlled vehicles and real-time tracking as critical for handling sensitive deliveries. Operating in 360 cities since 2023, Didi competes with Meituan and Ele.me in China’s $150 billion instant delivery market, maintaining a 30-minute average delivery window using varied transport modes.
